    Personal profile

    Biography

    I am a PhD student in the Rodriguez-Colman lab. I completed both my Bachelor's in Biomedical Sciences and my Master's in Cancer, Stem Cells & Developmental Biology at Utrecht University. My research interests have developed around the metabolic rewiring observed in many tumors and the (metabolic) mechanisms through which tumor cells acquire therapy resitance.

    To better understand how metabolic rewiring functions and also identify vulnerabilities that arise from this, I am currently focusing on mitochondrial metabolism and the targeting of metabolic enzymes.
